You joined to be killed, stop moaning!
 
Rupert Everett has had to apologise to the British forcesfor his words he had said on a TV programme.

Ceefax reporting that he said "The whole point of being in the army is wanting to get killed,
A transcript also mentions Rupert calling the British Forces "Wimps" and "Pathetic" and they are continually whining about going to war and getting killed.

However he then states he was not questioning the bravery of the troops in an apology.

His father is a retired Major apparently.

:mad:

.......When in actual fact I joined as Aircrew because of the promise of:

Girls
Pop-star wages
Work hard play hard ethos
Jollys to exotic locations
Hotels on Det
Rates
A great bunch of mates who don't take life too seriously
And more Girls

my biggest moan is that I don't get as much as I used to
(except for the wages....PA Spine) :}

Do you mean Rupert Everett the former rent boy ?

Could open a whole new approach to conduct after capture.....

exscribbler 10th Jun 2008 14:28

According to the Melbourne Herald Sun he said, "The whole point of being in the Army is going to war and getting yourself blown up. That and p---ing on prisoners. Yet we all get shocked by Abu Ghraib."

Poor bloke; 49 years old and he hasn't sorted himself out yet. Sad, I call it.

Maybe the ex rent boy should spend some of his time out in the sand pit..........

fecking 'celebs':ugh:

I joined as an assistant as 'its the next best thing to flying !' mmmm

The next best thing is sending 'strange' actors to hot and sandy places with a big :mad: target on his arse !!!

Sorry rant over. I must stop saying these things out aloud !

Presumably that's why he's called Rupert... :E

You could always tattoo a target on his chin then staple his bottom lip to his eyebrows to make it more visible.














Is that my taxi? So kind. Arrse NAAFI Bar please....:}

I've got some ink, anyone got a big sharp needle. Was going to say prick !but better not.:ok:

Everyone in our society has the right to free speech, but when your considerable income depends on your public image and popularity, then perhaps this was a missed opportunity for little Rupert to keep his gob shut. How about an organized campaign to boycott his work and any advertisers associated with it? That's the kind of thing that hurts these Hollywood types.

I would greatly appreciate some help with a problem I have that sadly as it happens it also involves a recent death in service and perhaps a harrier or two. Can anyone on UK tasking with JFH on Thursday "PM" me so I can ensure that a certain form reaches a certain desk. I have gone the official route but just want to make sure as short notice isn't something creaking Govt admin types do terribly well.
I'm sorry to ask and wouldn't if it wasn't worth a go...and if there is no reply then at least I tried.

I'd never heard of him - sadly now I have!

I personally joined to have an aircraft accident. Ideally, I would get the opportunity to bang out of the best, most expensive fighter going. If I couldn't do that, I'd prang the next best.

Sounds a bit like an interview for Bin Laden's lot, don't you think?

Maddness, please ignore this twonk. :ok:

I recall seeing Rupert Everett on a TV chat show a few years ago. One of the other guests was Bernard Manning who proceeded to take the pi$$ out of him something chronic. Brilliant it was!!
